Press the AULA A700's power button four times and the RGB on its ear cups switches off; four more presses bring it back. The lighting runs a seven-colour breathing effect, and turning it off makes sense on video calls or when you want more from the 1500mAh battery.
RGB on a headset is fun on a desk and less fun on a work call, where a slow rainbow on each ear can pull more attention than whatever you are saying. Some headsets bury the lighting switch in an app. The AULA A700 RGB is handled from a button you already use: four presses of the power button turn the ear-cup lighting off, and four more bring it back.
To switch the A700's ear-cup lighting off, press the power button four times. Repeat the four presses to turn it on again. The lighting runs a seven-colour breathing effect, and switching it off is worth doing on video calls, in a dark room, or when you want more hours from the 1500mAh battery. The headset sells for R569 at Evetech.
The A700 has no separate lighting button. Its ear-cup controls are a volume scroll wheel, a slide switch for the mic and a power button, and that power button carries the lighting toggle along with its other jobs.
Press the power button four times again. The seven-colour breathing effect returns.
Because the same button also powers the headset, plays and pauses media, answers calls and switches between the game and music modes, it is worth trying the four-press toggle once at your desk before you need it in front of a camera. Knowing how it feels under your thumb means you are not guessing when a meeting is about to start.
The effect is lively by design, a seven-colour cycle that breathes in and out. That suits a gaming setup with matching lighting. It suits these situations less:
On the camera point, remember that the A700 is black and grey. With the RGB switched off, it looks like a plain, neutral headset, which is exactly what most people want on a work call.
Lighting draws on the same 1500mAh cell that feeds the drivers. AULA rates the headset at over 40 hours per full charge, and turning the RGB off is the simplest way to keep more of that for audio. The effect on runtime depends on your volume and habits, and AULA does not publish separate lit and unlit figures, so think of the toggle as a bonus rather than a precise number of extra hours.
If battery ever does run low mid-session, the A700 charges over USB-C and AULA says it remains usable while charging, so switching the lights off is a convenience, not a necessity.
RGB is one of the A700's more visible features, but the headset is built around its audio and connections: 50mm dynamic drivers, 2.4GHz through a USB receiver that includes a USB-C adapter, Bluetooth, and a wired mode. The noise-cancelling mic detaches from the ear cup, and the frame uses an aluminium alloy arm with ice-silk pads.
If lighting matters to how you choose, Evetech's gaming headsets category shows which models glow and which do not, and the wireless headset page filters to those with no cable. If the ear-cup lighting fails through a manufacturing defect, that becomes a claim under the 1 Year Local Warranty Evetech gives this headset.
No. Four presses of the power button on the ear cup do it on the headset itself.
A seven-colour breathing effect on the ear cups, which fades in and out as it cycles.
They can, since the ear cups sit beside your face. Switch them off before the call to keep the frame neutral.
No. Lighting and audio are separate; the drivers and modes behave the same either way.
Look at the cups in a mirror or your webcam preview. If the breathing effect has stopped, the lights are off.
AULA does not publish a lit versus unlit figure. The lighting shares the 1500mAh cell with the drivers, so switching it off leaves more for audio, but the gain depends on how you use the headset.
Yes. The power button keeps its play, pause and call duties whether the RGB is on or off.
AULA describes one effect for the A700, the seven-colour breathing cycle, controlled on and off from the power button.
Ready for a headset that glows only when you want it to? Lighting you can switch off in seconds is worth having on a work call; the gaming headset category at Evetech shows which designs light up.
